What other plumbing services does Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Edmonton offer?

Sewer camera inspection is one piece of a larger toolkit. We also handle drain cleaning and HydroScrub® jetting for stubborn clogs, water heater repair and replacement, sump pump installation, and pipe lining or trenchless sewer repair when a camera inspection turns up damage that needs fixing. Most jobs that start with a camera inspection end with one of these as the next step, depending on what the footage shows.

How do I know if I need a sewer line inspection instead of just drain cleaning?

If a drain clears with cleaning and stays clear, you probably don't need a camera inspection. But if the same fixture clogs again within weeks, multiple drains back up at once, or you've had a sewer backup with no clear cause, that's a sign of something structural further down the line. Drain cleaning treats the symptom. A camera inspection finds out why it keeps happening, whether that's root intrusion, a bellied section, or a partially collapsed pipe.

Can a sewer camera inspection find issues before I buy an Edmonton home?

Yes, and it's one of the more useful inspections you can request before closing on a property. Standard home inspectors typically don't run a camera through the sewer lateral. We do, and the footage shows root intrusion, cracked joints, or a sagging line that wouldn't be visible any other way. For homes built before the plastic drainage lines common today, this single inspection can save thousands in unexpected repair costs after move-in.

What does it cost if the inspection finds a problem that needs repair?

That depends entirely on what the camera shows. A small spot repair where roots have damaged a single joint sits at the lower end of trenchless pricing, while a full lateral line replacement on an older, longer run costs more, especially if buried utilities, sewer depth, or driveways above the line complicate access. Your plumber walks you through the footage and the options before any repair work starts, so you're pricing a known problem instead of a guess.

Sewer Camera Inspection in Edmonton, AB

See Inside Your Sewer Line Before You Dig, Patch, or Pay for Guesswork

A slow drain that keeps coming back isn't always a clog. Sometimes it's a tree root intrusion working its way through a joint in your sewer line, or a section of pipe that's settled and started to sag. Sewer camera inspection in Edmonton gives a direct look inside your drain line and main sewer line, so the diagnosis is based on what's actually happening underground instead of a guess. At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Edmonton, there’s no exploratory digging. No repeat visits to chase the same backup. Just a clear answer about what's wrong and where. Call our Edmonton plumbers.

How a Sewer Camera Inspection Works in Edmonton

Your plumber starts by locating an existing cleanout, or in some older homes, removing a toilet to access the branch, which gives the clearest path to the sewer line. No digging happens at this stage. The camera goes in through an opening that's already there.
A high-resolution, waterproof camera on a flexible cable travels through the drain line toward the city sewer connection, sending a live picture back to a monitor that your plumber watches in real time. The footage shows the inside of the pipe wall as the camera passes, including any root intrusion, cracks, offset joints, or buildup along the way.
A built-in locator tracks the camera's position and depth as it moves, so once an issue shows up on screen, your plumber can mark the precise spot above ground. If a repair turns out to be necessary, that marker means we know exactly where to dig, or whether the damage is limited enough for a trenchless fix instead.
